Abstract (en)
The invention improves performance of a cooling system for an engine which includes a cylinder bore and a water jacket in an engine body, and in which a thermostat is attached to the engine body so that it projects from the engine body as little as possible, and is protected against hunting regardless of abrupt variations of cooling water temperature. A cylindrical thermostat 25A has a sliding space therein, and includes a housing 26A having an inlet 46 and an outlet 47 facing each other, and a wax case 35 which is slidably fitted in the sliding space in order to enable or disable communication between the inlet 46 and the outlet 47 in response to the expansion or contraction of wax. The housing 26A in which an axis of the sliding space is parallel to an axis of a cylinder bore is directly attached to an engine body 5A. <IMAGE>
